10/27:Today we kicked off our archetype project with a bang with, The Martyr. It was a wonderful presentation that used diverse martyrs thoughout ancient mythology and film, such as Prometheus and Jesus, and Joan of Arc and the scientist whose name no one remembers,( it's Dr. Yinsen, and you should be ashamed of yourself for forgetting.) It was a rousing success as it was applauded on three seperate occasions. Heres looking forward to the next one and until then see ya.
10/28: we started off the day with another presentation, The Trickster. we learned of the many tricksters throughout time, some like Anasi the small spider who became the king of stories in African myths, to Loki who is in fact the trickster god of Norse mythology who was actually kind of a jerk most of the time, he kind of clashes with the idea of a noble rogue but we'll forgive him because he was probably the original badboys, something society loves. For the modern example, our tricky trickster introducers chose to use the always whimsical Bugs Bunny, and the slightly deranged and completely awsome Tyler Durgan. We laughed, we cried, and we saw a scene of almost distrubing homicide, but everything worked out in the end, even for the fat prospector Elmer Fudd as he got his gold, even if it was his own tooth, (this run in with Bugs may of actual been the reason for becoming a hunter, this is quite a conundrum, i need to go to my inner sanctum and meditate on this for awhile.) So everything worked out well and no one has yet to disappear in the middle of a presentation, here's hoping it stays that way, good-bye for now I'm off to present poetry.
10/29:We didn't actually see any presentationst today, instead we went to the computer lab to do more research, so yeah, that's what we did. There is no one to blame, but since some one has to be, I will place the forest pixies for the mischief. There was some benefit to the day in the computer lab besides all the intellectual research going on, I heard a constructive response to my daily logs here so i have tried to make my daily commentary a bit more exciting and colorful, hopefully it worked, if not you know the saying, if at first you don't succeed, give up and do something easier. See you tomorrow, Maybe? (cue blood dripping from the words and evil laughter echoing through the halls of a castle. (please note this works better if you actually live in/or are viewing this in a haunted castle.))
10/30: Huh, it turns out I am back again today, imagine that, I'm sorry to disappoint all of you who didn't want me to return, (you know who you are), but I will finish up my regardless of what the mobs rule. I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from, just the day before Halloween and I'm excited, so I will start over now, today we were graced with the luck to be able to enjoy the viewing of two presentations instead of one, (take that forest pixes). This was the first time that our class was able to present two different presentations and this will be the social norm until we complete the project, so be prepared for the rest of the logs until next week to have 2 presentations. The first archtype that was presented before us was, The Evil Inncarnate, (Bum Bum Bum!!!) and while it was supposed to be a two person presentation, one of the partners was out sick, and so the remaining partner had to do the duet solo, (muscial puns, how you must hate me now, if it's any consolation, I probably hate myself more, I cheat at cards and don't trust myself to hold our money.) The partner who was here presented his project wonderfully, as if he was indeed channeling the spirit of the evil inncarnate, which may in fact be the reason why his partner didn't show up, (one of you people who actually read this research this, I would but I'm still meditating on the whole Bugs Bunny Elmer Fudd curiosity, so I can't) He wisely choose clips of his archetype that truly demonstrated the character to a tee, Aton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men, demonstrates his character so perfectly, that I'm not even going to joke about, (it was that scary). The second presentation was on the archetype, the, the whats the word, the one that that old guy whose always on tv says, it going to bother me all day now, the Maverick, that's what it is, that was going to be very annoying. The presentation was done very well, even if there were two presenters up their instead of one, (sighs, we can't win them all,( I actually did say the onomatopeia out loud, alright)) but even the lack of a partner who was ill didn't hurt the presentation of the two up their. It would be kind of hard to do when the film clips you show are about James Bond, (arguable the best secret agent ever.) and Ren McCormack, (the city kid with a heart of gold who not only lifts the banned practice of dancing by working within the system and using the bible until people agree with him(all of it, from the demon summoning type to ballet, both of which are probably safer then dancing to what they dance to at the film's climax) but also magically teaches all the other highschool kids who have never danced in their lives to break dance like professionals just in time, truly amazing.) So it was a wonderful day of evil and mavericks galore, and it would of had continued throughout the day if my teacher remember to tell me to go to the office to pick up my affects so i would be able to go home when the school day let out, but don't worry, I'm not angry, (I'm just incredible incredible bitter). Tomorrow is my last day so it should be sad, but I can't because not only is it friday, the greatest day of the week in my oppinion, but it's also halloween, the holiday that binds all of man kind in brotherhood, love, and understanding. So remember dress up as your favorite characters, so the goblins to come after you, see you tomorrow.
10/31: tonight is the night, one fo the most spectacular nights of the year, the time where everyone of every being is united in the bonds of love, brotherhood, and trust, yes, today is halloween. It is also my last day before I give up my power of authority and become just another face in the crowd like you people, not that there's anything wrong with that, I can do it easily. Who am I kidding, I can't give up the power, I can't become one of you people again...
Terribly sorry about that, I'm already hyped up on sugar so I'm a bit erratic right now, but continuing on. Due to more technical problems beyond our control, ("cough" forest pixes "cough") we were forced to only do only one presentation today. A cute cowgirl and a pretty pirate presented us with a prolific presentatation on the prophet, (didn't say it on purpose, scouts honor), and aside from my horrible little bit there, it was a very good presentation. We were introduced to the tragic tale of Cassandra of the ancient myths, (dealing with petty Greek gods/monsters never seems to work, it makes you wonder why so many still do get involved with them), and Samuel, who proved that if you hear voices in your head, they're probably god, so do what they say. For the modern examples, we have what could be the basis for an after school special on tenure gone wrong, Prof. Trelawney, who got really lucky and forced the school systems to keep her from the forces of evil, (that would be an awsome job), and the greatest things in the world, baby Yodas. Okay, they presented the real Yoda, but the babies were too cute to ignore, we saw some awesome clips of epic movies from two of the greatest series of movies ever, the Harry Potter series, and Star Wars. Happy Halloween everybody, this is me saying goodbye and its been fun.
